of course I am reluctant to slag off BT having used the service for more than four years. Until relatively recently I had no problem with BT, rapid log ons, no cut offs, fast downloads, but now it is so unreliable it is driving me nuts.

For example, this morning I logged on at 0800 to read PPRuNe and after seven minutes the service, or computer, just stopped. It was still connected but was doing absolutely nothing. I have Zone Alert which tells me when the connection is firing on all cylinders and nothing was showing.

About 12 mins later it decided to start again and ran fairly quickly for another eight minutes. Whilst waiting for it to resume I could have nipped out and mowed a quarter of ther lawn.

And this no doubt will be the pattern for the next two hours until I get disconnected and will have trouble getting on again.

Sorry BT, but I am not a very happy customer.
